Removing a drive-letter assignment

Right-click on the drive you want to remove, and from the pop-out menu, choose Disconnect.

Troubleshooting Suggestions

If you are prompted for a username and password when connecting make sure you are typing your full email address (including the '@willamette.edu') in the username field. This is different from many other network services on campus that require a username only.

Some personal firewall software and other similar security utilities have been known to interfere with the ability to map network drives. If you have such software installed and are having problems accessing network drives, try disabling the software.

Windows XP

Open My Computer.

In the menu bar click Tools -> Map Network Drive

The Map Network Drive window should appear.

In Drive choose any available letter after H.

In Folder type \\groupfiles.willamette.edu\nameofdeptshare (where 'nameofdeptsshare' is the path to the specific department share EX. \\groupfiles.willamette.edu\wits)

If you desire: click the Reconnect at Login box, this will automatically re-connect your home drive when you log in to your computer while on campus.

Click Finish.

You may be prompted for a username and password

In User name type username@willamette.edu (where 'username' is your Willamette login name, make sure you type out the full '@willamette.edu')

In Password type your Willamette network password

Click OK

After a few seconds, the contents of your home directory will be displayed in a new window.
